I have a couple different dresses planned that are slightly sheer, so I am in need of a full slip to wear under them. I used the free Ruby slip pattern from the blog Pattern Scissors Cloth. The original pattern uses lace for the bodice, but I just used my fabric. I had previously made this pattern into summer sleepwear, so I had already made some slight modifications to the bodice. My fabric is a rayon lining fabric that I got from somewhere that I don't remember.
Sorry about the wrinkles, it had been tossed in a drawer before I took the pic.
Not much else to say about this, the fabric was a bit shifty, but I have worked with worse. The insides are just serged and then topstitched down to make mock flat-felled seams on the bodice. (I considered real flat-felled seams with French seams on the side seams, but I decided those were just too fiddly with 3/8" seams allowances.) I did not add enough of a hem allowance to the bodice pieces, so they ended up being too low. Luckily, with a slip you can pretty much stick lace on wherever you want. I used some stretch lace that I had on hand, and that fixed the problem. A simple and easy but useful little undergarment.
